With Windows Phone 8 handsets now on sale in Europe and US availability set for Friday, the Windows Phone Store got a big shot in the arm with the release of Angry Birds Space and Cut the Rope, as well as an updated version of SkyDrive.

Cut the Rope ($0.99) is compatible with all versions of Windows Phone, but Angry Birds Space (also $0.99) uses special APIs only available on Windows Phone 8. SkyDrive (free) has been available on Windows Phone for some time, but the new update – version 3.0 – is fully compatible with Windows Phone 8 and adds a few performance improvements, upload options, and user interface polish.

If Angry Birds Space and Cut the Rope aren’t enough to keep you satisfied this week, you’ll also be able to pick up Angry Birds Star Wars on all platforms starting tomorrow. Will you be downloading any of these games?
